Wedge-Localized Quantum Fields on Noncommutative Minkowski Space

A model related to the free scalar field on d-dimensional noncommutative Minkowski spacetime is discussed (d>1). Using a specific action of the proper Lorentz group on the set of matrices given by the commutator of the coordinates x_mu, we obtain from the free field a whole family of fields which are localized in infinitely extended, wedge-shaped regions in Minkowski space. These fields transform covariantly under the proper Poincare group and moreover lead to a non-trivial two-particle S-matrix. Some comments about the existence of local observables in this model are also made.
